Today I was drivin up on snowdrifts in a parking lot. Long story short, my crappy vac. hubs were givin me a hard time disengageing.

Eventually it switched to 2wd and I was fine. The throttle still felt spongeyy. It feels like it has even less power. The hubs don't bind up like they're still engaged. I know it's a 3.0, but it feels different.

With the tranny:

Randomly for the least few days the OD on light would flash on and off.
It wouldn't down shift to first at stops. It woudl stay in OD till i manually shifted to first.

Fluid levels are fine and fluid looks good.

Also, when I was crusin home tonight, the OD light came on. I rode it in first through my neighborhood. When ever i'd lay on the go petal it felt like i had a wicked high stall torque converter in. A huge dealy.



I havn't been under yet to take a look.
I han't pulled codes yet

Any ideas?
 
your still running stock gear ratios with those 35's arent u? i really hope you didnt hurt ur tranny by running those.my frist guess would be check vac lines.....also look at the linkages and see if theres anything binding. it sounds like your tranny is decideing it doesnt want to shift down for some reason, your tranny is controled by eletronics right? maybe it got wet?
